AID Atlanta, Inc.

AID Atlanta, Inc. is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive services related to HIV/AIDS. Established in 1982, it has evolved into the most comprehensive AIDS service organization in the Southeast.

History and Mission

AID Atlanta was founded in response to the devastating impact of HIV/AIDS on the Atlanta community. Despite initial societal fear and bigotry, its founders volunteered their time to provide support and education. Over time, the organization has expanded its services to engage Black and Latino populations, reflecting the diverse needs of the community. The mission of AID Atlanta is to reduce new HIV infections and improve the quality of life of its members and the broader community by addressing barriers and fostering community support.

Community Support Initiatives

AID Atlanta actively participates in community events and partnerships to raise awareness and funds for HIV/AIDS services.

Additionally, programs such as "Sisters With A Voice" provide essential resources and services to families affected by or at risk for HIV/AIDS, particularly helping children succeed in school and access basic needs.
